happy thoughts!!

Uuuh, such a nice welcome back! Yay :)

So. Maybe I should just sketch out where I am these days:
- Still studying Geography at University of Copenhagen - fourth year! Jeez, time is flying by fast! I got my bachelors this past summer and I'm now working on my two-year masters in Geoinformatics and city planning.

- I live alone in Copenhagen in an appartment and have been since my roommate moved in with her boyfriend about a 1½ ago. I'm actually looking into moving into a dorm and I think I'll be sending out applications this week or the next. Yay!

- I have a wonderful student job, where I practise my mad GIS-skillz! SQL all the way! And it's a really social place and people are so nice :)

- I am very (very!) single and have been for about a year and a half, a fact that vampirespider can agree to (everytime we meet up, which is about every 6 months, I have to give her an update :P). I think this blog will also be a place for me to write about my frustrations about being single and *not being able to understand what guys mean!!*
Right now there are kinda two guys popping up once in a while: Mr. Teacher Man who I got to know through a guy at work. A mighty geek who loves Mythbusters, writing SQL-queries and is a science-teacher at a school. We saw each other for about 6 weeks through january-february-march, but then drifted apart because we were both too busy and he became sick. But we still chat on MSN, so I don't know... As my friends say: It just makes no sense! He was so into you!
Second player in this crazy game: Old(er) Geography Dude, who is actually a friend (and younger than Mr. Teacher Man), but I have hooked up with him four times since December at various Friday-bars, the last time being this past Friday. Smart move, yes I know. I have a feeling he has a thing for me, but I'm not sure where I stand in this whole thing... Plus, I *can't* date anymore geographers. That would (also) be foolish.

Isn't it interesting that the part about the guys is the part taking up the most space? Hmm...

Just did a skip=280. Sorry if I've missed something, but, yeah. Many many pages!

Came home from London on Sunday night with a 'flu. We had a wonderful wonderful trip, anyways. We walked all over the city, went to Starbucks too many times (as if there's such a thing :P), shopped 'til our (mine) wallets screamed, went to very interesting museums, danced/jumped in bars (much fun!), was hit on by a lot of drunk Austrians, tried to follow Very Interesting Football Matches (ie. me) and other fun stuff like that :) All in all 5 very nice days.

Adrian picked me up in the airport and only just left me today, so we've almost spent 72 hours together and they have all been very very wonderful :) He is so sweet! He's been taking care of me and has kept asking me if there was anything he could do for me. Every time I've coughed he's held me a bit tighter. He brought me chocolate from Belgium and they are YUMMY! What's even better? He brought my family chocolate, too. So sweet! *dies*

Didn't go to the first lectures yesterday because I was sick, but did go today. As it turns out we only have classes on Tuesday and Wednesday and our curriculum ~400 pages o.O But it's not all fun and games. We have to write two larger assignments in our spare time, so I guess we have our work cut out for us.

Talked to the guy in charge today and I can go on the field trip next year instead (for those of you who don't know: I was royaly screwed over by Former Friend, Laura, which meant that I would have to chose between going on a Grography trip this summer og going to Brazil for a month). This will mean I won't get my ECTS-points until Summer 2007, which sucks giant balls, but I have to live with it. Am loving ignoring Laura and steeling her potential group partners for the assignments. Ha! Take that, bitch! Am also loving that people are on my side.

Tuesday last week I went to Kathrine's apartment and we had our first pilates-work out. My muscles acked until Friday. Tomorrow we have our second get-together. Am looking majorly forward to it!

Because I only have classes two days out of seven these days I've started looking for student jobs. Looks interesting. I have the right qualifications for some of it, so I hope it works out.

Still no news on the apartment hunt.

Now, football. Or Gilmore Girls. Hmm...

I've texted two of my "guys". I told them I needed to focus on university and they both said they understood it, so I'm happy. Haven't been on Dating.dk since Tuesday.

Friday bar yesterday! Went and had a blast with my group - I love them all so much! Started talking to Adrian, who is a guy I've never really talked to in spite of hanging out with his group of friends a lot (he's friends with Asta and Birgitte, who I'm going to a party with later today). But, yeah, we started talking about football, music, politics, traveling, movies and all sorts of other stuff. We spoke English for half an hour, because he wanted to hear how Danish my accent is (which it isn't - especially when talking to someone who speaks British, then I speak British as well). But, yeah, we spoke for, like, four or five hours. He put his hand on my lower back and touched my legs and I put my legs over his. We were inches apart, but we didn't kiss. He had to catch the last bus home, so he left. The others were so sure we'd kissed, so they all gave me that knowing smile-thing. He texted me later: "Hey! I just wanted to thank you for a wondeful night. I didn't expect such a person behind a face like that =) have a nice night&talk to you soon =) Hugs". So, yeah. Probably something there :) Have texted with him some more today - he said the pleasure had been all his and stuff. So now I have to see what happens on Monday and if all goes well, Fastelavns party on Friday!

When the Fridaybar ended we went to BioBar, where the biologists hang out. I saw Magnus, who I've kissed on two seperate occasions (he was actually my frist, real kiss. Hmm...) and Rasmus' best friend in the footbag-world, Kim. I've never met the guy, but seen pictures of him so I wasn't sure. But he was wearing a TRIO-shirt, who make the best footbags in Denmark, so that kinda helped me figure out it was him... That made me completely sober up and suddenly it wasn't really fun anymore. So I went home... (though it could have been the ULTIMATE revenge to make out with Kim. Muhahaha!!!)

Oh, Adrian just texted me ;)

I need some help from you Danish people. Mostly because I can't translate this thing I'm about to post. It's about the Michael-dude. The one in Bilka. He just wrote me this:
Godmorgen min rose...
Sad og havde helt vildt mange tanker omkring hvad jeg skulle skrive til dig, men ingen af dem gav den store mening når først de kom på skrift (i blame the alcohol) men jeg håber du har fået sovet rigtig godt, og muligvis drømt noget sødt. Ville jo gerne sige at du skulle have drømt om mig men den slags ting er man jo desværre ikke selv herre over. Kun de vågne tanker kan man styre, og dem må jeg indrømme har været styret i en temmelig ensrettet retning på det seneste. Retningen mod dig vel at mærke. Har tænkt over mange ord som kunne beskrive hvordan jeg ser dig, men ingen af dem giver dig den retfærdighed som du fortjener. Ved ik hvordan jeg skal sige det, udover at sige at du nok er den sødeste og dejligste pige jeg nogensinde har lært at kende. Du er helt fantastisk. Dont ever change honey!

Tror denne her krop skal puttes i seng snart, den trænger til hvile og til at kunne samle tankerne om noget af det skønneste her i verden. Ja, du gættede rigtigt... Thats you!

Kæmpe kram
Michael

So, yeah. That was pretty much a declaration of love, or something to that extend. And he's told me that his last girlfriend/kiss/sex was two years ago, so he's taking this *very* seriously...! I'm so confused, because while I love getting mails like this (and I get my fair share of them - sometimes it's quite scary) and I think he's very very sweet and nice, I still don't know if I actually *want* a boyfriend or something like that just now. It was so nice to be going out last Saturday, find some guy and make out with him, and then leave. I just don't know what to do, because at this point I've been writing with Michael for over a month and his letters have been more and more like this one => meeting him => dating => boyfriend/girlfriend.

And Maria is out of town, so I can't talk to her. And Kathrine is going to some birthday-thing. I haven't talked to Laura in a week. My sister is nowhere in sight. Kristine is going somewhere. And, yeah, I just sorta needed to air this thing with some other people...

vampirespider - I hope your assignment ended up being brilliant - it looked like it :)

Last night. Yeah, I kissed someone. Just to prove to myself that I could. Muhahah!!

Maria and I went to Moose bar with Nina, where we talked for a few hours for the first time in *years*. It was so nice! Then we went to a club, where we bought some drinks and went to sit down at an empty table, which we soon realised *wasn't* empty, because three guys were actually sitting there. There were three of them and three of us. You do the math ;) Well, Maria and Nina were most agressive, so they claimed first dibs on them, which left me with whomever they hadn't taken. They changed prey all through the night, changing when they had talked to one of the others. Nina went dancing with the blone one called Martin and they started making out. Maria went dancing with the brunette one called Daniel and I *thought* they had kissed, too. I was waiting for Rebekka and was totally bored, because the last one (I'll call him Bahit, because I can't remember his real name) was talking to his ex-girlfriend. We'd earlier talked about football and the mini-Porsche I have in my pencil case and stuff like that. Martin and Bahit had both called me their dream wife (yes, you can score because of football) and Daniel gave me the biggest hug and a kiss on the cheek because I said I liked Peter Møller (who just happened to be his idol). A good song came on and Bahit, Maria and I went dancing. Maria apparently whispered to Bahit that I was just shy, so when Maria left he really made his move. We started dancing closer and closer and suddenly we were kissing, not that it came as a great surprise. He was good-looking, a good dancer and a good kisser. And incredibly nice, too...!! Maria had told methat at the end of this vacation she wanted to see me score someone, because in spite of me having kissed 14 different people in the span of two months, she hadn't been present at any of the occations. She and Nina were dancing next to us, so they saw the whole thing happen. Muhaha...!! Nina left and since Maria realised she wouldn't kiss Daniel she wanted to go, too. So I told Bahit we had to leave, he asked Maria if she couldn't just let me stay (because I am *sure* he thought we'd be going home together), but, no, I am an ice queen and the entire plan of the evening was to kiss someone, so I was happy with the outcome. So Maria and I walked home in the snow.

Today I woke up at 2 pm with a cold. It's been three months since my last flu, so it was about time it came, really... Have been sleeping, watching TV and drinking tea all day.

Tomorrow I start university at 8 am, so I should possibly go to bed soon.

Oh, and that law-student has started calling me Teresa-musen (mus = mouse) and the Bilka-guy has started having dreams about me. Oh, yes, I rule.

I want to comment on the Muhammed-cartoons, but the snot in my brain is stopping me. All I want to say is that I can't understand why Jyllands-Posten can't say they are sorry and I am beginning to fear for my life. We could very well be hit by a suicide bomb any moment now and I live very near the center of Copenhagen.

I'm so bad. Seriously, I must be the biggest flirt on earth.

Over the past month I've been asked out on dates by approximately 20 different guys. I've turned them all down. I've chatted seriously with 5-10 guys, all of whom believe that I'm mostly talking to them. I think I've made three of them get a seriously crush on me or maybe even fall in love. The first one was Magnus, who was just...too much. Then there's Michael, who is really the sweetest guy I've ever talked to. He says the nicest things, but they don't feel forced. He constantly calls me "sweety" and "gorgeous". We're really alike, because he's a geek, too. He appreciates movies and comedy just as much as me. Only catch is that he works in Bilka and wants to start a career in detail. It's not a a catch, per say, it just goes against my fantasy of marrying a science major called Magnus. And now I've added flirt #3 to the list. Rune, who's four years into his Law degree. We have the same kind of humour, the same personalities, are more or less at the same points in our lives. And he just said, "no, now I want you as my girlfriend!"

The problem is that now I'm talking to Rune and I feel that we have more in common than Michael and I, but I still feel like I'm cheating on Michael. But I like 'em both... I've talked more with Michael, maybe that's why...

You know what? All three of them are over 190 cm, which is waaay more than me. Kissing either of them would be a problem.

I really am a bad bad person...

Howdy do, everyone!!

Just checking in to say that both of my exams are killed and very very dead! The first went so-so. The presentation went brilliantly, they liked our paper, but I completely messed up in the second question, so I ended up with an 8 (given for the average performance), which I'm okay with. A bit bombed, but okay. The second exam (today), on the other hand, is by far the absolute best exam I HAVE EVER HAD!!! There was such a nice air in the room, the teachers were happy, we joked around, we talked about our paper, they said they liked it (actually they said that we were the only ones who had written the paper they had hoped for). Everything was just...perfect. And we ended up getting an 11 (given for the independent and excellent performance), which is more or less the highest grade you can possibly get, because 13 is practically out of reach for *everyone*.

But, yeah. Life is great and I have an average of 9,3. Woot! Next block, meteorology, which I'll LOVE!

Tomorrow, going to the spa with Kathrine (which has become an exam tradition for us. We did it after the GIS exam as well). Friday, hanging out with Maria (I hope). Sunday, water pipe/girls' night with Asta and the girl from Geo). Next week: Wednesday, old students' party at my grad school. Thursday/Friday/Saturday, various outings with Maria at night, incl. a Fridaybar and a discoteque.

Woot!! Vacation until the 6th!!

My crush-tag entries is seriously the funniest thing in the world. I sound so confused and I am so sure through it all that I'm going to end up hurt (I did, but not really in the way I thought). On August 22nd I wrote this about Mads: "But he's so sweet, so if he keeps it up, I might just fall for him." Oh, really, now...!! Cue next two weeks of me being head-over-heels over Mads. On August 24th I write that the following Friday I will have to choose between Mads, Thomas and Lars. In reality I ended up getting my very first kiss from a guy called Magnus.

My life is so fucked up at some points... When I compare my life *now* to how it was a year ago, so much has changed! 12 months ago I was unemployed and I only saw five different friends on a regular basis. Now? Birth control-pills, a chlamydia test, a pregnancy scare, having kissed with 12-15 different guys (according to how you define a kiss), not having *remotely* enough hours in a day, two oral exams coming up in the next five days. During my vacation I am doing a party hat-trick with Maria. She decided it and I couldn't say no.

Now I *really* have to go read glacial morphology for tomorrow...!!

First exam: Monday at 2 pm
Second exam: Wednesday at 1:30 pm

I am absolutely ready to die now. I have just returned home from university and finalising my 2nd report, the statistics-one. 26 pages, all in all. We've been writing until midnight for three days in a row, so we've *really* worked hard! We've ended up writing a really good report, far better than the others we've looked at, so we're really content. Timo wrote all the philosophical stuff, Laura the statistics, which I co-wrote, but I was mostly the person who did the Excel and the chorographical mapping, so I'll have to spend some time reading up on the other things before the exam. But it's done!! I can upload it if anyone wants to read it ;)

Tomorrow, hand it in at 1 pm and then do powerpoint presentation for the other exam, due at 4 pm. Then possibly relaxing in the night with a visit from Rebekka. The weekend will consist of reading the curriculum for the first report/rehearsing the presentation. Then oral exam on Monday. Reading statistics on Tuesday. And exam on Wednesday or Thursday.

I wanna die, I really do.

Also, the Magnus from Dating.dk-thing? *Seriously* getting more serious by the second. He wrote me this earlier: "I'm looking forward to seeing a real, live angel in the near future :)" I was in the middle of editing our report, so I didn't respond and then he started to do a Teresa, as in really freaking out about me not writing back after writing such a message and therefore he wrote another message an hour later, trying to take it back and saying that he don't want to push things too much and that he'll slow down. I actually forgot to answer *that* message, which made him freak even more and more or less breaking the whole thing off in his third text, saying that he got the picture and asking if we should just be friends. When I got home I got him calmed down on MSN and I think everything's olay now, because he called me a "naughty pirate". Yes. We're both weird. But he's sweet, so everything's good. I really will end up meeting this guy, I just know it. Plus, he's made a deal with his aunt, who'll take over his cats. So I can visit him in his apartment and not getting an allergic break-out, which is both weird and really sweet.

Oh, but the whole Anders-deal is interesting as well, because we were in the same room while writing today and literally *every time someone cracked a joke*, we looked at each other and laughed and kinda winked at each other. A member from his group needed help with the technical part of ArcGIS (map program), so I came and helped them. Anders was 5 cm's away from me and he kept looking at me!! I figured their problem out, walked away and heard Anders say, "she's just really really cool, isn't she?" Me? Grinning like an idiot.

As lattara said, "Oh, yes, everything is going according to plan: it's snowing again and Teresa's love life is complicated." Which really summs it all up, because it actually *is* snowing again!

I just want to thank elwing_white for sending me the little envelope full of goodies. Gay pr0n really must be the best way to get over both a broken heart and exam anxieties, so yay you!! Bel Ami rules so much *goes and watches Greek Holidays*

Statistics are...fun...? *reads some more*

Dating.dk is definitely fun and that scares the crap outa me! I don't want to be one of those people!!

My dad is going to Stanford University in California for the next two weeks and he wants a shopping list of things I want, so could some of you Americans/American-lovers please write stuff he should buy for me? Candies, magazines, CD's, books, stuff like that. Not too expensive, because it's not really a long trip. Pixie Stix, Entertainment Weekly and stuff like that.
